What's behind this
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi warned in January and February 2026 that Bangladesh’s proposed zero‑percent policy could finish India’s textile industry, a claim now facing fresh scrutiny as labour unrest in Bangladesh has disrupted garment manufacturing.

The unrest has forced the shutdown of 670 factories across Bangladesh.
